New charge for dad in toddler shooting death

FRESNO, Calif. 
The father of a 2-year-old Fresno boy who accidentally shot and killed his half-sister is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to being a felon in possession of ammunition.

The Fresno Bee reports (

) that Jarred Dubois entered the plea on Wednesday in Fresno County Superior Court.

The 33-year-old Dubois was arrested Friday after probation officials said they found ammunition and an "airsoft" rifle, a weapon that fires plastic pellets in his home.

Dubois in June pleaded no contest to criminal storage of a firearm after his son found his loaded handgun and fatally shot 6-year-old Emily Lavender in May. In that case he was sentenced to probation and community service on the condition he not possess any weapons.

Dubois' lawyer has called the latest charges "ridiculous."

If Dubois is found guilty of a parole violation he could be sentenced to three years in prison.
